Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomIt should be noted that the location of the drop-off point for the long boats was on the opposite side of the island from our initial booking location. This was not the fault of the hotel, but rather a misunderstanding caused by the information provided online.
The location was somewhat inconvenient, and a refrigerator would have been a welcome addition, even if it were shared among the bungalows. The weather has been quite warm, and the lack of cool water did not aid in refreshing oneself. Although this is an experience of true backpacking for the eco friendly

United KingdomA lovely stay in the wilderness. Monkeys around the resort. Staff were helpful and friendly. Up some stairs to resort which we didn’t mind but there was a lift for your luggage which was helpful. There is no warm water but we liked this as there was no AC in the room just a fan so it felt very refreshing to have a cold shower

LithuaniaThe location is far away from the main beaches, but let’s be honest, Railay is not that big, so every place is reachable within a 20-minute walking distance, but because of location I would expect it to be quiet, but it isn’t. Long tail boats were roaming around from 7 in the morning till midnight and they constantly woke us up. It wasn’t a problem for us, but you need to climb some stairs to reach the property.
Breakfast is included in the price, but there’s not a lot to choose from - toast, tea, coffee, juice, fruits, and a few types of pancakes and egg dishes that you can order from the counter. They have a nice garden where you can encounter monkeys and different kinds of lizards. It’s not that hot inside even without the AC (compared to other bungalows we stayed in). The bungalow is quite big with a huge terrace, there was enough space for all our belongings.

SwitzerlandCompared to other hotels, I found the staff to be rather cold and distant at the reception and breakfast (not the classic warmth you know from Thailand). At breakfast you can choose an egg dish or something similar, at the first breakfast no staff came to me in the dining area to ask if I wanted something, I just ate then a few fruits/toasts from the buffet, at the second breakfast they only arrived after about 10 minutes
The resort was so impressive. Beautiful bungalows and wild monkeys, large lizards, squirrels and exotic birds in the resort itself. The rooms are equipped with everything you need except a refrigerator, the fan in front of the bed replaces the AC very good. The bathroom is new and modern, the terrace and the view are awesome. The resort is generally beautifully designed with lots of plants and flowers. Although the resort is on the outskirts, it is still close to many bars, restaurants and supermarkets

I wish i knew that it doesnt have aircon, i requested for a specific room number but they said it’s booked but it wasnt. The room is very hot and needs to have aircon, really. For the price point, i think it should have. The view is nice though.

BelgiumFor us it was good place to stay, but please keep in mind that there is no airco (only fan) and it’s on a quiet part of town (including some steps up the hill to get there, but there is a lift for luggage). If you are fine with that - like us - you will get a very good deal and a nice place to dtay in Railay.
The resort is in a quiet and calm part of Railay, with an amazing view and beautiful garden. We liked this a lot. You will feel like in a zoo at times with all the animals and nice plants around. It was nice to come home too after being in the buzz of the popular beaches and areas. Staff is very friendly and breakfast has a lot of options and is very nice. The resort spends special care on ecology. Nice price for value offered.

RomaniaNothing because I was prepared for the location from the beginning.
Slipping in the middle of the nature is a favor hard to find in Krabi or Railay; although this hotel is offering that. The presence of birds, monkeys from time to time is fascinating. But there is a price for that: few steps every day to get in your room and no AC, as the houses are traditionally made of wood. If you balance the advantage of a beautiful sun rise, sunset and Phra Nang Beach with the fan in the room, it's OK. And surprisingly, no mosquitoes at all...

PolandThe breakfast was lacking any savoury options, you could only choose egg and some sweet toasts. We skipped breakfast because restaurants downstairs had better options. If I wanted some cold water to drink I had to go to the fridge on the other side of the resort which was uncomfortable... No fridges in the rooms and also no AC 😬
The apartment is away from all the noisy/party streets of Railay which was great for me. The view from the window was the best one I've ever seen. We even had a monkey family visit our terrace a few times. The garden here is amazing, you can see some colourful lizards and jackfruit trees 😍 We also really enjoyed our balcony and terrace, both of them had a place to sit/lay down.

It's an amazing eco resort in a great location and stunning views. Within a short walking distance (15 min) to Railay Beach as well as Phra Nang beach. Breakfast at the hotel is very good and the view from the cantine is simply awesome. There are many restaurants and bars around.

EgyptThese things did not bother me at all but you need to be aware of the following: There is no pool and you need to walk quite a way to get to the beach. There are quite a few steps to get to the hotel. Sometimes, the longboats have very loud engines. There is only cold water available.
I loved the nature experience. Bungalows have an awesome view. Staff was lovely and everything was very clean. Will definitely visit this special place again. Really feel like I am on an island.
